Narrow River Kayaks

So awesome! The staff here are so nice and accommodating. We were given a student discount even though I forgot to bring my ID. We didn’t end up using the full 2 hours and they offered to refund us the difference. Seriously great service.
The scenery is beautiful and I will definitely come back the next time I’m in town.

Really good people own, and staff NRK. They are passionate about caring for the environment and people, and are patient with both experienced and fledgling paddlers. Sept 2015-​I enjoyed a solo kayak paddle, then a sunset, a sunrise, and the September 27^th full moon paddle (actually it was THE Super Moon/​Harvest Moon, which later in the evening became the «Blood Moon» because there was a total lunar eclipse) Ron, our guide took us all the way down the river to Narragansett Beach where we watched the huge moon rise over the shore line and ocean. Spectacular experiences, from the first to the most recent, my friends and family were able to be with me for the sunset and sunrise paddles! They loved it too. Thank you Narrow River Kayaks!

I have been here twice, once a few years ago and once today. I took a different path both times (last time I went into the more nature part (to the left then kept right) and this time we went to the beach (to the left then kept left under the bridge). Both times were lovely. The kids who work here are nice. It is easy to do a nice little trip in the two hour range. If you want to spend time at the beach or do the long ride (when you are on the river you go to the right) go for at least 4 hours.
If you are used to an area where you put in then get picked up, this isn’t what happens here. You have to get your butt back to the starting point. Overall, we had a good time and I will go back – we may even bring my folks when they are in from Illinois next weekend.
Also, they have new kayaks from two years ago. If you have a preference for sit in or sit on top kayaks be sure to let the workers know down by the river.

What a nice bunch of people! I went with a group and NRK outfitted everyone with a boat, life vest and paddle and helped us out onto the Narrow River. It is a really lovely place to kayak although nearby power boat owners are rude and deliberately harass the kayakers. I was impressed at how kind the staff were to me and others I observed. Most of these rental places I have encountered, be they bicycles, skating etc., are basically about «pay me and be on your way.» The staff at NRK are considerate and helpful. and I say all this even though my personal kayaking performance was a huge disappointment. Of our group, I am the only one who took the «drowned rat» tour! LOL I couldn’t stay on that thing to save my life, and at one point I was sure that was the only goal!

Came here on our 3 day vacation to Rhode Island. We decided to do the SUP (paddle boarding). We absolutely loved it. The prices were reasonable for the time you are allowed on the water. The scenic route is so pretty and you pass by many fishermen and other kayakers. The employees were helpful. They gave a brief instruction on how to get on the paddle boards for those who were beginners. The water is shallow in areas in the morning, which is nice if you fall off. So if you’re a beginner, I would say the earlier, the better.

Reasonably priced kayak rentals in a beautiful river which you can follow to the ocean/​beach or to the more quite nature reserve. Very calm waters so its a perfectly good place to bring children.

Great place. Friendly staff. Owner very flexible and helpful. Great place to explore. Time your trip to Narragansett beach with the tide and remember the tide is 1 – 2 hrs behind in the river. Will return again!

Great place. Fair price and excellent friendly service. All equipment was in perfect condition. We had a great afternoon of family fun on the Narrow River. I would deffently recommend this place to anyone staying in or around Narragansett.

good price, good service — great paddling will return to narrow river! love love loved it!

This was so fun! A few friends and I had a Groupon for 2 hours of regular kayaking or four hours tandem. We went with two tandems and had a great time.
The staff were friendly and efficient, and even though one person in our party had to assemble a sea kayak, which took a bit longer than anticipated, they happily held our tandems and set us off on the water with instructions for points of interest and suggestions for navigating around shallow areas.
One thing I wish I had known before setting out was that you’re actually kayaking to a lovely beach! I’m not super familiar with Narraganssett, and I probably should have done some research before setting out, but we had a good time splashing around even though we weren’t ready to lay out on the beach.
We had the option us using the tandems kayaks for up to four hours, but we were pretty pooped after about 2.5. The next morning I had a couple blisters, but felt totally bad-​ass. This is a great way to get some fun exercise and see some beautiful scenery. I highly recommend Narrow River Kayaks for all of your kayaking needs!

Pretty place by the ocean to paddle. Reasonable rates. Super customer service: whisked us away, including hauling our kayaks back to headquarters, when we got stuck under a bridge during a thunderstorm.
